Coming today at Abu Dhabi, from Aug 06 – Aug 08, 2015, is Sesame Street Live, Elmo Makes Music – a tour that features dozen of popular songs, including the classic ones that children have come to love to sing along, such as “C Is for Cookie” and “The Alphabet Song.”

That’s right, the full gang from the American Sesame Street TV series, one of the oldest and the most popular children’s shows of our times, are coming to UAE at the du Forum—an exciting indoor live entertainment venue in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

It is sure to be a musical event like no other with Abby, Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and their Sesame Street friends to go on stage to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live “Elmo Makes Music”. Running time will be 90 minutes.

As part of Abu Dhabi Summer Season, this event is sure to delight and entertain the kids; Sesame Street members – including Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie, Kermit the Frog, and the number-loving Count from Muppet Show favorites – will be on hand to interact with the crowd in making it an enjoyable experience for all who attend.

According to AbuDhabiEvents.ae, a quick source to find events that suit you managed by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), “the show features Abby Cadabby [who] loves to sing and wants to start a new band on Sesame Street! Abby, Elmo and friends discover ‘instruments’ they never knew existed…pots and spoons, trash can lids, and even cookie jars! [The scene brings them together where a live audience can see] Everyone’s favorite fun, furry and feathered friends teach children that we can make and enjoy beautiful music together.”
